WASHINGTON, Jan. IL.
Mr.. Hoar, from the committee on claims,
reported the Senate bill to extend the ii ne

the French spoiiation act for IL months addi-
tional, and on his motion the bill was passed.
Mr.. Allison reported b aek the army appro-
pratios bill with amendments ;ordered printed
On motion of M. Ingalls, the Senate bill
to amend section 1854 of the revised statutes
in regard to renting or selling government
property, was taken up and passed.
The Senate then at IL Is resumed the con-
siderstion of the Interstate commerce bill,
and was addressed by MIR. Call. who DE- clared
his concurrence in great objects of public
policy that were sought to be carried into
effect by the original bill and bv conference
reports.
After an extended debate Mr. Cullom
stated there were three or four other senators
who desired to speak on the bill and who had
engagements for this evening. He would not
therefore. ask for vote tonight, but would
do so before adj ,urnment tomorrow.
The Senate then at 40 went into secret
session and when the doors were reopened
adjourned
Mr.. Collins of Massachusetts,, from the
committee on the Judiciary, called up the
bill providing for an additional circuit judge
IN the second judicial circuit. He stated
that an additional judge was imperauvely
demanded on account of the large number of
customs case. which were required to be ad-
Ju1icated. The business of that circuit
amounted to "A per cent of all the business
arising in all marine circuits.
The bill was passed.
The HOusp then nrOcpeded n the pnD al dor.
alton of the Edmunds anti polysamy bill
and the Tucker substitute therefor.
After the reading of both measures Mr..
Taylor OF Ohio gave brief sketch OF the es-
ia tablishment of the Mormon church in Utah.
and the efforts made by Congress to suppress
the practice of polygamy Its friend, the
| Legislature of Utah, would not strange it,
but fortunately Congress could.
Mr.. Carne of Utah earnestly opposed the
measure as undemocratic in America, wan
tonly destructive of human rights and be-
cause it set at naught the principles upon
which the common rights Of man were
grounded, and turued the Mormons and their
| church over TO Unsuitable spoilers.
Mr.. Reed of Maine said he was believer
in local sef-government. He was also be-
lever in government by the people and look
ed upon the tendency of modern times with
sieot uistfust-tue teuuency 10 take from the
people their power of frequent examination
into the acts of their officials. He believed
that biennial elections and quadrennial gov.
| ernorships were inventions to deprive the
people of that power, and offered prizes to
be captured by corruptions of official life.
The House substitute was agreed to and
the Senate bill as thus amended was passed
without division.
The House then at 5. 80 adjourned.

BOSTON. Jan. II.


The effect of the strike in the coal ports is
seriously felt in Boston, and as result the
price OF coal is advancing 25 to so cents at
a jump, while the amount OF coal in the sheds
of the various dealers is growing less each
day. At meeting of the wholesale and re-
tail coal dealers of Boston, held this after
noon at the office of the Lehigb Coal Co., il
was agreed to raise the prices tomorrow as
follows: White Oak stove, $3.50 per ton
White OAK egg, Sc 25; and furnace, Sc,
these being the retail prices. The wholesale
prices are little less, but at present the
Wholesale and retail dealers are together.
Most OF the large dealers have enough coal
on hand to last two or three weeks, but nc
longer. When this stock is exhausted the
question is, where is more coal coming from

HAzLEToN, Pa, Jan. ~.
The executive committee of miners and
laborers, subdivision No l of District As
sembly 3, X. of L.. which includes the entire
anthracite coal field, held session there,
yesterday, and resolved to declare general
strike of all employees engaged in mining and
the pre- eparation of coal that goes to places af-
fected by the strike of the New Jersey coal
handlers, providing the strikers approve OF
this as being the most effective manner of
rendering them assistance. A telegram an
Douucing the action of the committee was
sent TO the strikers. Master w Workman 7 +.
Brennan stated after the meeting that if the
action of the committee is approved by tho
strikers $4,000 of the 100 900 mine employees
in the anthracite coal fields would stop work
The cessation Of work at the collieries would
prevent non-union hands from taking the
nlaces of strikers.

We who camc here five or six years
ago have cause to be pleased with
this region. When We came here
the whole region could not have

Since then the Mayfower has been

THE LATE ARCHBISHOP SEGHERS,
One OF the Old Stack Of Missionaries
Who Braved Everything for the
Churcb

Portland oregonisnI
The murder of Bishop Seghers, the
Roman Catholic Missionary, in Alaska,
ended the career Of a man who was
worthy to have walked with that
splendid band of Roman Catholic en-
thusiasts who carried the torch of
Christianity and civilization nearly
300 years ago to the waste places of
barbarism in the Old and New World.
There is no more fascinating story in
modern history than that of the
jesuit fathers, as told by Parkman, in
America, and that of st. Francis
Xavier in Asia. The story of Mar
quette, Joliet and Hennepin is tale
OF daring discovery undertaken pri-
marlly to enlarge the dominion of
the cross. Then there is the notable
herolsm OF less celebrated Jesuits,
like Father Jouges, who kept faith
with the bloody Mohawks, although
he knew he was going back to meet
cruel death; and there was Father
Rasles III Maine. who was killed by
English colonists at his altar. In the
days of Loyola and Dominic this en-.
thusiasn to dare all in order to do
something for Christ was not surpris.
ing, but In our age it is startling to
find in Bishop Seghers a lineal de-
scendant of the spirit of St. Francis
de Assist. Here in this grossly utili-
tartan, agnostic, cynical nineteenth
century, an eminent Catholic eccle-
slastic resigns the headship of a com.
Portable diocese to become an Indian
missionary in the icy wastes of Alaska,
whore, separated from social joys and
the material comforts of civilization,
this good priest lived life of peril,
privation, and distress in order to en-.
large the circle of his church. 1t is
the same spirit of self denial and self.
surrender that was exhibited bv
Loyola when, gallant warrior, be

an uncommon act in his day, but an
and rare performance in
our time. And yet it is just this sort
Of performance that has always been

by the people in mass meeting some
time since TO prepare the way for or

ship OF Superior into Il Village Organ

last act Of which was to present the
matter to Judge Clough for his APP
pr0yaI, and this was done at the Court
House last Saturday. In one instance
only did we have occasion to enter Il
protest against the acts of that com
mittee, and we believe its members
generally conced that our objections
were we'll taken, and personal eX-
PLANTATION of their motives i'll the acts
objected to, makes it plain to us why
they did so while we may not APP
prove of the plan. The outcome Of
the controversy about the name is
in accord with the position taken by
the TINES all through, hence, unlike
some of our neigh5ors, we do not have
to fall into line whichever way it
goes, bat We are proud to say we have
maintained the right as was most de
cidedly admitted last Saturday, when
not one man would say word
against naming the Village Superior
Barring the oae little break made by
the committee, it did lis work prompt
ly and we'll, and the gentlemen are
entitled TO more than the thanks Of
the people for the time and labor they
haye given to the matter without the
hope Of reaard, but simply for the
good OF the cause
The next step in the matter Is to
order IN election 50 that the whole
people may vote to condemn or APP
prove the work OF the committee and
the Judge. Itthey are sustained by
by the people, Tie next step viii be

Pease, all well known in Hayward.
The ceremony took place at p. IN.
and was performed by Rev. 4. A.
Stafford in an appropriate and impress

except relatives and most intimate
friends. The brides looked
especially lovely. while the grooms did

Great Improvement.

The city fa.hers using FIVE or six
hundred dollars in planting trees
along our street, ami avenues, last
year did much 10 improve aud beauti-
fy our city. Upon walking around We
notice that the greater part Of these
trees are alike, and being taken from
the thick woods they are tall and too
slender to stand the storms without
protection. This needed protection Is
only partially provided, consequently
there are a number Of dead trees. The
places where the deal trees now stand
might be filled with fir trees, il it be
true that midsummer Is the time for
